When Carolyn Weber moved to Oxford University to study, she didn't expect to find God there. But she did. As she grappled with her newest and most important relationship, she also found that there was another invitation: to think bigger about love. In this book we follow Weber through courtship and into marriage and parenthood. Now a literature professor, Weber reflects on her relationship with a sometimes-absent father and how that has shaped her. Through her personal story, as well as spiritual, theological, and literary reflection, Sex and the City of God explores what life looks like when we choose to love God first.

The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, "Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love" (Proverbs 5:18-19). But, of course, sin always tries to trash God's gifts. So we can't just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle. This book has something for all-men and women, married and single-from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.

The author of the Catholic best-seller, Theology of the Body Explained, examines the vital powers of the body, sexuality and spirituality that compel life pursuits, drawing on lessons from classical and contemporary disciplines including the Christian mystical tradition to challenge beliefs about Christianity's sexual oppressiveness while linking erotic impulses to a spiritual need for God.

The Body of Christ has been sold a lie, and that lie is destroying millions of Christian marriages throughout the world! What's the lie? The lie is "If you're really spiritual, then you aren't interested in sex." Sexual intimacy is one of the most basic parts of a marriage. In fact, the Bible defines sex as what makes the relationship a marriage. If anyone should know the beauty of a great "love life," it's the dedicated Christians.God created sex, not Satan. It's only when we use it as God intended, that it can become the beautiful capstone to a marriage that God intended. Instead of listening to the world's teaching about sex in marriage, the Body of Christ should be teaching what God says about it.In this exciting book, Rich & Deborah Murphy teach God's principles for marital intimacy. They have condensed eight years of study and prayer into a simple clear message that every Christian couple needs to hear.
